West Indies v England Twenty20 at Trinidad
WI v ENG, Twenty20, Trinidad: Sarwan steers West Indies to six-wicket win over England
Mar 15, 2009
An inspired performance by Ramnaresh Sarwan steered the West Indies to a comfortable six-wicket victory over England in their one-off Twenty20 match at the Queen's Park Oval on Sunday.
Sarwan helped run out two England players and then hit a fine 59 to spur the West Indies to 123-4 off 18 overs, finishing with 12 balls remaining, in reply to the visitors' modest 121 all out off 19.1 overs. Opener Steve Davies, on his international debut, topscored for England with 27. But Sulieman Benn took 3-24 and a total of three run outs caused England's innings to stutter.
There was also a wicket apiece for Lionel Baker (1-12), Darren Sammy (1-14), Fidel Edwards (1-18) and Dwayne Bravo (1-34). The West Indies lost an early wicket but Sarwan, the standout batsman in the preceding test series, guided his side to victory.
Having already engineered the runouts of Gareth Batty and Dimitri Mascarenhas, the 28-year-old right-hander lashed four fours and two sixes off 46 balls before he fell with the victory in sight. Lendl Simmons contributed a level-headed 23 not out while Kieron Pollard (4 not out) ended the match with a boundary.
